Jazz Vespers

Jazz Vespers 2017: September 17th; October 15th; November 19th; December 17th.

Jazz Vespers is a synthesis of several traditions, each finding a unifying voice through the unique musical heritage that we call jazz. The makers of jazz develop consummate technical achievement as both composers and performers. The virtuosity of the performers is not an end unto itself. The musical tradition is about the task of giving voice to the hopes, dreams, frustrations and pain that expresses human experience.Jazz is the musical incense that collects and carries the prayers of a people.Numerous jazz composers have secured a place for this art form within the living tradition of the church, including Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Wynton Marsalis, and Pat Metheny.
